Hey that looks great! Between Thomo's Hole and DeepFriedHappyMice, the world is gaining a lot of side-by-side comparison bandwidth. :) BTW, speaking of masts,...
Model Ships are available in 1/3000th scale as well as 1/6000th scale. I like the 1/3000th scale for Russian Japanese War as the ships were not all that big...
The simple masts work great as a training exercise as well ... after stabbing themselves in the finger several times, players learn caution around the top of...
Hi. There is also Grand Fleets from Majestic 12 Games (which has a bunch of scenarios in it). I have played the rules several times and they work quite well. ...

I was re-reading some of the questions from the old archives and came across several references to the use of a "Bastion" as an impregnable defensive...
Hi Jim, It was on your old message board prior to moving to Yahoo Groups. I guess the archives I referred to were my collection of saved postings. jon...
Hmmmm, I don't recall anything called a "Bastion." In any case, it's unlikely to have been genuinely impregnable. Possibly it's a name that somebody gave to...
All right, now we're talking! Phillip Jones' Elan Deluxe tactical Napoleonic rules have been downloaded over 10,000 times since they were first made available...
As a celebration of the battle of the Yellow Sea centennial, I decided to post the Russian Fleet panorama to the Articles section of WTJ today. For those...
I am one of the downloaders, and I have to say that I was very disappointed. These rules are far too complex for my to try to play without someone there who...
I also am one of the disappointed downloaders. Seems to me they are very similar to the old WRG Napoleonic set but with unnecessary complications added. I...
Jim, Nice image! The aux that follows Svyetlana is the Ural (ex-Kaiserin Maria Theresia). The hospital ship is the Kostroma (class unknown, but listed as...
Bill, Thanks for the info. Yes, I think you are right about Ural being to the right of Svietlana in the panorama. On second look I see that the ex-KMT had...
Jim, "I may post a closeup of the signal flags being flown by the two auxilliaries in case anyone can make sense of them." Cool! Time to break out the old flag...
I recently discovered a great source of splash markers for use with 1/3000 scale miniatures. I found a line of plastic dart tips which have no grip marks or...

As announced elsewhere: Just a note to inform you that due to recent requests from gamers, I've developed a new tactical-level wargame for the American War of...
Hey everyone, I got into the historical wargaming scene just recently because i got sick of the prices that games-workshop has. anyways i was looking at the...
Have you looked into FOW? That would be easiest transition for anyone from moving away from GW games and into historical games. The rules are formatted like...
i really want to learn either how to play 1943 or the ww1 version of the game. i really dont care about how smooth my transition is from the games workshop...
Hey Dean, For now I think the best way to run a simplified game of 1943 might be to just play the game using only certain features. For example you could play...
Thanks a lot Jim, I think that i will take out the command and morale testing. Really all that i want to do is have some infantry, tanks and artillery and then...
The best way to remember the way 1943 organization works is to keep in mind that the game is meant to re-create battalion level action. Each battalion in the...
